Having struggled with my weight almost since teenage, the first concern for me when I learnt about my pregnancy was my weight. Though I had successfully lost and maintained my weight a few years ago, I was still afraid of gaining weight during pregnancy.

Well, all my fears came true when I put on a whopping 17-18kgs during my pregnancy. Initially, I managed to lose some of it post delivery and was happy. But with erratic schedules and taking care of the baby, I piled on more weight. So it was a total of 20kgs gain vis-a-vis my pre-pregnancy weight.

When I decided to finally lose that weight (around the time my baby started weaning) I came across the best diet app- bon happétee. And it helped me change the way I looked at food and ate. Continue reading →

Why everyone should learn how to cook

We live in the era of fast food where we prefer grabbing meals that are prepared in a jiffy. We eat salad mixed with a packaged salad dressing, a commercially prepared jam/pickle roti, or home-made tortillas/nachos with ready-made salsa. Our fast-paced lifestyles have drastically changed our food choices.

And with this kind of exposure and crammed schedule, commercially prepared food is a win-win situation for the mother and child.

The shortcut is often the wrong cut. This statement holds true in case of packed foods too! Continue reading →

The media is also responsible for misguiding the children by selling off junk food under false illusions. The attractive covers misquoting that they are full of healthy goodness are enough to tempt the little kids. It’s very tough for a mother to explain the contrary to her kids especially when they tell her that so and so brand of noodles is now healthy and tasty too. So how do we as mothers win our battle over the junk food funda? How do we instil the right food and wrong food idea into their little minds?

10 Fuss-Free Healthy snacks to munch on, this game season.

2 Comments

One of the biggest events of the year for the cricket buffs is on. Watching the game with friends and family through the thrilling catches, miraculous comebacks and jaw dropping moments is an exceptionally endearing feeling. What the game also revolves around is the food! The feeling of grabbing a greasy pizza, chomping on fries that are washed down by a bottle of cola is what makes a game-night a pleasurable event. But the oh-so-captivating gamer grub, apart from calming down your grumbling stomach for a while, does not really do a favor to your waistline (or your body).

“You are what you eat. So don’t be fast, cheap, easy or fake.”

fastfood real cost

So what is fast food really? Here is the dictionary definition “easily prepared processed food served in snack bars and restaurants as a quick meal or to be taken away”

Pizzas that get delivered in less than 30 minutes, burgers and chips that can be picked up at a drive-thru are examples of fast food. Now, think about it – If something is delivered in 30 it was cooked in under 5 mins. The only way this can be done is using pre-cooked ingredients loaded with preservatives like salt, sugar and trans fats. A typical fast food meal contains around 50% of your daily limit of sodium/salt and added sugars.

Even the packaged foods fall largely under the same umbrella. Foods like pack of chips, nachos, salad dressings, sugar cereals etc. Continue reading →
